During a busy Christmas week, in which he received an enthusiastic welcome (including the gift of a white lamb) from one of Rome's working-class areas, Pope Paul described his pilgrimage as "a journey of prayer, made with humility and with love." In fact, the trip will be a protocol-hedged ordeal for the Pope, who will have to pray while under the eyes and cameras of more than 1,000 newsmen, 8,000 policemen and 500,000 Jordanians and Israelis.

The piece is a rather heavy parody in which the Elder (Gus Solomons) tries to overcome his lust for a Sister (Miss de Lavallade) who has also aroused a prospective brother (McKayle). As the fetishistic Elder rips layers off the Sister's dress, McKayle staggers before Christ's altar, crying, "He's all aroun'; but Ah cain't see Him."
